Hey Ladies, I 'm having a problem that maybe you guys can help me with. So i'm on a budget wedding but the photgrapher means alot to me. I 'm lokking to spend like 1500- 1800. I found a photgrapher who is on this site, Gonzalo Verdeja from art n colors from baja claifornia and he's willing to do the whole day for 1500 that includes video as well. I' m hestitant because that's a great price and i havn't been able to find one review for him on here. I need suggestions. Please help.

If you've found someone you love then you should do it. Does the $1500 include his travel costs like airfare? Also, don't forget you'll have to pay the $500 outside vendor fee or 3 nights at the hotel for him. That's standard Karisma policy.

Hi girls, wonder if you can help me? We have gone for the silver package but there are alot of things within the package that we don't require and want to trade them for other things, have any of you's done trades with you WC? If so are they fair trades?

On August 2nd at 3pm at Sensatori Resort, Riviera Maya, Mexico I marry my best friend.

I wanted to multiquote this, but someone asked about the b&g stay free promo. I'm not sure what the deal is, but my TA just asked me what I wanted to do about the free room. I asked if I could use it for my photog and she submitted he and his wife's name. I haven't been asked to pay anything up front for that room and all my money had been paid to her (the TA that is). I'm thinking it may just depend on who you're going through.

I was told he would pay for half of the fee. The 1500 includes, pictures a picture album, over 100 pictures an hour and video as well as he is willing to pay for part of the vendor fee.

Thanks for this info. I'm going to follow up with my TA again. I'm going through flight centre destination wedding specialists... and it's signature vacations too! But, it is in May and my TA said that sometimes the deals are available depending on time of year etc. I'll follow up tho and see if she can work anything out. I will PM you for sure if I think her seeking info or talking to your TA or anything might help. Thanks again!

I'd be all over them, maybe even get your travel agent to make an anonymous call to my agent and ask some questions....let me know if you would like the info.

Good luck!

I personally am going starting either at 6 or maybe even pushing it back to 6.30 and we're doing PLaza Zavas too. Our ceremony is for 4pm. We figure people can go relax for an hour and a half or head over to one of the bars for cocktails etc. while we get photos taken. That way the plaza will be more private by the time we get there (also the party will go later into the night which is a plus for us).

We have scheduled our reception from 5-9, but i've just realized the bar that near our reception area, is open til 6. Do you think we would be wise to start our reception at 6 to avoid the noise/people? what do ya think?

It sounds like a FANTASTIC deal. I'd just ask to see his portfolio and make sure you are satisfied with the type and results of the work he's done in the past. It could be that he's relatively new and willing to work for bargains to build up his status etc.

Hope it works out for you
